Through coverage of issues like food security, extractive industries, biodiversity and climate change, IPS aims to give a voice to people whose stories are seldom heard. IPS also hopes to highlight the various challenges they face in this globalised world: health and food insecurity, environment degradation, and poverty.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello,<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m always passionate about the work I do here at IPS, there’s something else that I\u2019m excited about: Support Your Media Day.<\/p>\n

On February 15, 2012, thousands of people are going to put their support behind non-profit, independent media in an unprecedented, 24-hour virtual donation drive. And on that day, every donation and donor IPS gets will help us claim our share of more than $10,000 in grants.<\/p>\n

These contributions will fund the critical work we do every day and our unique brand of international reporting. They\u2019ll support our writers, photographers, editors and media trainers throughout the world \u2014 from the streets of Damascus to the Dadaab refugee camps, from the Amazon basin to the Mekong Delta \u2014 wherever citizens are acting for change.<\/p>\n

Support Your Media Day is going to be a big event, and everyone will be talking about it. Please join us. This is your opportunity to sustain reporting and analysis that is especially critical in this time of global upheaval.<\/p>\n

We need you to help us with these three things:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
